Hi TonyMac Comunity,
It's been a while for me, as my current machine did work without much hustle. But it is time to upgrade.
I think I will go with Gigabyte z490 Vision G Motherboard – as I found one online (would prefer the D Version but could find none – or is there a better supported Motherboard you would suggest?)
I have a 42 inch Monitor with 4K, 60Hz, with HDMI / DVI cabel.
The Question I have: Do I need a GPU or will iGPU be enough?
And maybe: Should i go with an i7 and iGPU or with an i5 with GPU?
My CustoMac build could be:
I am even quite unsure if to go with air or water cooling… I would like to have less noise, that's even why I am considering if there is a better case?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance
